Colorful home with Hanalei waterfall & mountain views, & AC in bedrooms

The house was immaculate upon arrival. Everything was in good working order and the home finishes were lovely. There were so many great beach amenities. Location can't be beat.

I’ll never book with Vacasa again! Bummer because the house is in a great location, and layout worked great for our 2 families, totaling 8. The house wasn’t thoroughly cleaned when we arrived. Crumbs on the coffee table, leading to ants through out! Debri on couches, on top of them feeling musty! So we literally got in, and had to find a vacuum to clean. Not a great start! The two twins were made into a king, we had to seperate them ourselves and scrounge for sheets. When Vacasa finally responded they tried to tell me it’s supposed to be a King. I then showed them the listing literally picturing two twins…Bikes are not taken care of. Flat tires when we got there, so unusable. 2 boogie boards. One had a rip so just collected water and air. Broken wagon handle. Chairs are crusty, like the handles and buckles would just rip when you tried to move them. Place just isn’t looked after thoroughly. For the price you think they’d be able to replace some basic amenities! It would have made a huge difference if there was a host readily available for these things. But the communication just isn’t there with this management company. Oh! Also the cleaning team arrived 15 mins before our check out time. Pulled all the way into the (already small) driveway! Just sat in their car and watched us load up. Awkward. Then another cleaning person pulled into the driveway as we are trying to pull out onto the busy hwy (still before check out time) just unnecessary chaos. It was weird.

We had the most amazing vacation. The house was so perfect for our needs. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and we had plenty of room. The location can’t be beat. It was a 5 min walk to beach. A few min drive so a dozen other beaches. Food, coffee, shaved ice, grocery store and little shops right across the street and within a block or two. The view is so pretty. You can see waterfalls off the back deck and sometimes catch some rainbows too. So beautiful. I already want to plan another stay next summer!

Wonderful home, clean, with plently of spaces to sleep and hangout. Beautiful views of the waterfalls in the distance. Very nice being right by the shops and restaurants in Hanalei.

Great location in Hanalei. As stated, it's about a 10m walk to the beach. 3 bikes in various states of repair allowed for a quicker trip to town once you navigated the first stretch of street where there is not much room for bikes on the road. Pull cart with chairs and umbrellas were a nice touch. no snorkel gear when we stayed here. 1 of the 2 bogey boards was broken, but likely not the owner's fault. The house was 'loud'. Downstairs you definitely knew when someone was awake and moving around upstairs. 3rd bedroom upstairs had a funky bathroom setup with the toilet and sink literally in the shower. Views out the back towards the waterfalls were great, but slightly obscured by the growth of the trees in the yard. Everything else was great.

The house was perfect for what we needed. Excellent location as we were right in the heart of Hanalei and so close to all coffee shops and shopping and restaurants. A quick walk to the beach or a bike ride. Buggy at the house made it easy to bring the beach chairs and umbrella to the beach as well. They have thought of everything.

Loved staying at this location. House is spacious. So nice sitting on lanai and looking at the mountains of Kauai. Shops and restaurants right across the street! Walkable to beach as well.

Our stay was beyond amazing! We absolutely loved EVERYTHING about this house!! I know a lot of reviews commented about the street noise but we didn't have any issues what so ever with the noise. The house has everything you'd ever need for a perfect stay!

Fantastic location - close to shops, restaurants, and the beach. Such a cool little town. House was comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in this home for our anniversary. House was spotless, check in very easy. Appreciated the texts and emails ahead of time, and customer service was very responsive. The house had so many amenities for both indoor and outdoor activities. Highly recommend!

We loved the location and the layout. We would stay again.

Nestled right in the heart of Hanalei Bay on the enchanting island of Kauai, our stay was nothing short of remarkable. The location alone warrants praise, as being situated right in town afforded us unparalleled convenience and immersion into the local vibe. The house itself exuded charm and character, boasting a unique and captivating design. However, what truly stole our hearts was the expansive back deck that offered breathtaking panoramic views of Hanalei's lush landscapes and azure waters. Many a morning and evening were spent lost in reverie, soaking in the beauty that surrounded us. One of the standout features of our stay was the accessibility to Hanalei's vibrant downtown. With an array of restaurants within walking distance, we found ourselves indulging in delectable local fare without the hassle of driving. Additionally, the provision of bikes added a delightful touch, allowing for exploration of the area at our own leisurely pace. Of course, no review of Hanalei would be complete without mentioning the omnipresent chorus of roosters. While the occasional noise from the nearby road was noticeable, it paled in comparison to the symphony of crowing roosters that is synonymous with island life. But hey, that's all part of the charm, and certainly not something unique to this particular accommodation. In summary, our experience was nothing short of unforgettable. For anyone seeking a quintessential Hanalei experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this place.
